Since I want to keep my old G4 tower case, I wonder if there is a mobo I can get with maybe even with a AMD chip put in and have my own Frankenstein set up? I'll be getting a new Mactel at some point...

Powerlogix 1Ghz card in my Sawtooth 907 Views / 10 Replies  
Installed Tiger and it's running great but can't enable backside cache. CacheControl and CPU Director can't install Plkext extension.
Anybody knows how to deal with it?
Thanks.
Alexei.

Running a 20.1'' Dell LCD with my G4. The fact is, the picture is great and I don't even see the frame or logo any such stuff, it's still a Mac. $500 difference for a cool case is too much.
But I...

My man, get dual 2GHz and upgrade as you go. Get a third party LCD, you can actually do research and find out who makes panels for Apple, unless you are stuck on brushed metal look. A decent video...
